Use the curse client to manage multiple WoW addon installs? Not for long...

[Jafula]

I've just installed the beta of new Curse Client (v4). It's not something I will be using when it comes out if it stays in its current state.

It does not let you manage all your games. If you are a dual boxer with two different installs on the same computer, you can no longer manage each one individually. The curse client scans for your games and automatically adds them. Problem is it only adds one WoW install.

If you like the curse client and want to manage multiple WoWs, please help by voting on this ticket:

Oh, the link to the beta of the new curse client.

Thanks,
Jafula!

Edit: Ofc, if you can get the client to work for multiple installs, I'd love to know how.

They actually manage to make it even worse with every update, don't they?

I still use Wow Matrix. works pretty good for me. some updates take a while to get propegated to somewhere where WM can find it, curse blocked it from happening automatically a while ago. Hell it even successfully updated Jamba for me after 3.0

Sheesh, Jamba was never officially released by me to WoWMatrix. Leechers. At least if you downloaded it from my homepage you have a chance of seeing the 'in your face' donate button. Ofc, now I plan to release Jamba as open source and on curse as well so all my crying is a bit moot . (Although if the curse client is going to be sub-optimal I might have seconds thoughts).

Whats more important, is that you found a way to get Jamba easily. More Jamba to the people. Mmmm, need more coffee.

I've symlinked my different wows including the interface folder.
So I download the add ons in to the main wow folder.
Just need to configure what addons you want on each character, but not a big deal.

Ack not curse! wowinterface ftw hehe. Hate going to that site it seems so unorganized to me. I have about 2 addons there (3 if you decide to put jamba on there) never stay current with those add ons though..

As for wowmatrix can't stand leechers.

Hmmm, I can probably put Jamba on WoW Interface as well. Will have a look and see if I can do that.

Edit: Anyway, we're supposed to be voting to get them to change the curse client!

this is what i did also. sometimes the client automatically adds one of my slaves for some reason, so i just go into the 'manage games' tab and delete the slaves. then update the main folder only. the client kept crashing when i'd install new addons when it had the slave's folders targeted also, so i just keep the main on there by itself.

If you select "Enabled: No, ignore the addons for this game" got all the copies of wow that are symlinked it works fine (it doesnt try updating all 10 copies of wow). So I have c:/wow/wow1 managed and the 9 others i had to select 'no ignore...' for them (once curse found them) Works perfectly fine for me, and the crashing was likely due to the multiple scans it was doing at the same time.

Symlink for the win!
